I'm going to buy some Aphex Twin but there's so much shit out there from them. Please guide me in selecting a good album to introduce me, sort of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I think their best work is I Care Because You Do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get I Care Because You Do and/or Come To Daddy..you hear!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I Care Because You Do is excellent, essential if you're a fan ( ok, you're not one yet, but you might become! =) ), just be warned it's kinda hard to get into at first listens... RDJ album is easier (though too short, and not as varied - more cartoonish-sounding too). SAW 85-92 is a great album too, though not that representative of later Aphex Twin... but a good place to start i guess. i'd recommend one of those for a start? |

Druqks is his most accomplished imo. Sure it's got some filler shit, but ignore all the piano and noise cack and you have a solid single album of amazing drill n bass! (and some of the piano stuff is fairly accomplished i guess) |

||||||||
|

|
|
beginner CD... ICBYD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I'll get "I Care Because You Do,", and then download tracks from the other CD's you've all recommended. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come To Daddy definetly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good call. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you will need all of them: aphex twin afx caustic window polygon window gak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that depends on you taste in music... do you like drill 'n bass best? or perhaps ambient? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Piano and noise cack? Have you even heard Drukqs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suggest smojphace, a massively emotional and thought provoking work which is equally enjoyable for both first time listeners and experienced fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs. i would go with drukqs.... started with it for myself... but i could be false of course. |

the rdj album and saw II will start you well and the piano tracks on druqs are simple beauty |
||||||||
|
|

which ever has the prettiest sleeve |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

icbyd - should be heard during autumn and winter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

SAW 85-92, I Care Because You Do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would start at the Aphex Twin beginning with Selected Ambient Works 85-92. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whats this their business? Aphex Twin is one person ok! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or you could skip aphex twin and go straight to autechre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Come To Daddy is the best to start with, its cheap for one thing, and its varied. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think people should start at the beginning, listen to Analogue Bubblebath or Polygon Window and progress through his stuff that way. I think those who have listened to Aphex since more or less the beginning appreciate all his output and appreciate the whole range of electronic music in general. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm so many choices. I think I'll try and get his early stuff but will check out "I Care Because You Do." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you dont get on with his early stuff dont give up there , give drukqs a listen before you make your mind up . have fun :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh the discoveries you are going to make! i almost envy you :) Dannn_ is right, Come To Daddy is the best choice, it's diverse and shows what the man is capable of. Just download Flim and you'll be convinced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes the discovery part is so nice. It is enviable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get this three: saw 85-92 I care because you do druqks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alberto, I downloaded "Flim" and was flipping out. The little drum change at 2:05 made me a believer, really :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do you talk of aphex twin as "them" when you know its just one person? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should buy "slippery when wet" I'm a cowboy, on a steal horse i ride I'm wanted.. Dead or alive. RDJ is a fucking genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you heard girl/boy song (RDJ album) or alberto balsalm (ICBYD)? those are amazing piece of music. listen and drool :) |
